Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value. No supporting documentation provided.
Current Assessed Value $336,500 ounty Opinion $312,500
Time of Hearin 1:01 PM Appellant Opinion $267,330
County Representative C le Anderson Board Decision $312,500
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• As of February 5th,2026,no supporting documentation has been received with this appeal.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 0.16-acre tract improved with a 1,352 square foot single family
dwelling located at 207 Ashe Street in Hillsborough.
• County staff reviewed a sales analysis of recently sold C-graded homes within the subject's
neighborhood. This analysis included the sale of the subject property(TMLS#10018533),
which sold in combination with the adjacent vacant lot identified as PIN 9864349846, also
currently under appeal. Together,the two parcels have a combined lot size of 0.33 acres and a
combined assessed value of$408,500. The combined properties sold for$456,500 on April 1,
2024.
• After review, staff recommends applying a-20%land adjustment to both the subject property
and the adjacent vacant lot(PIN 9864349846). The proposed adjustment would reduce the
subject property's assessed value to $312,500 and reduce the combined assessment to
$405,500. The County recommends a revised assessed value of$312,500 for the subject
property.

Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• As of February 9th,2026, no supporting documentation has been received with this appeal.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 0.17-acre vacant lot located adjacent to 207 Ashe Street in
Hillsborough.
• Because the subject property sold in combination with the adjacent improved parcel identified
as PIN 9864348855, County staff reviewed a sales analysis using the combined properties.
Staff reviewed recent sales of comparable properties within the subject's neighborhood,
including the sale of the subject property(TMLS #10018533),which sold in combination with
the adjacent parcel, also currently under appeal. Together,the two parcels have a combined lot
size of 0.33 acres and a combined assessed value of$408,500. The combined properties sold
for$456,500 on April 1,2024.
• After review, staff recommends applying a-20%land adjustment to both the subject property
and the adjacent parcel(PIN 9864348855). The proposed adjustment would reduce the subject
property's assessed value to $96,000 and reduce the combined assessment to$408,500.

Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on topography and a cash offer.
Current Assessed Value $240,800 ounty Opinion $192,600
Time of Hearin 1:08 PM Appellant Opinion Not provided
County Representative C le Anderson Board Decision $240,800
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant states that the subject tract has steep slopes, a septic issue, and power lines
across the front of the property. The appellant also states that there is no water or sewer
connection. The appellant submitted an unsolicited cash offer from an investor as supporting
documentation.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject property is a 5-acre tract of vacant land located off Borland Road in Hillsborough.
The appellant states that there are several issues affecting the usability and value of the
property and provided a cash offer from an investor dated March 27, 2025,in the amount of
$155,750 as supporting documentation.
• County staff reviewed the appellant's claims and supporting evidence. The offer to purchase
was submitted by an investor seeking to acquire land at a discounted rate and is therefore not
considered to be reflective of true market value.Additionally,the offer is dated March 27,
2025, which is after the revaluation date and was not considered by staff.
• County staff also reviewed a sales analysis of recently sold vacant tracts within the subject's
neighborhood. Based on this analysis,the County recommends applying a—10%land
adjustment to account for the presence of power lines on the property. This proposed
adjustment would result in a revised assessed value of$216,700 for the subject property.
• Additional PERC evidence provided by the appellant pre-hearing prompted a further-20%
recommended land adjustment,revising the recommended County-recommended value to
$192,600.

Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on a market proforma income approach also
considering the valuation of Durham County's portion of the apartment property.
Current Assessed Value $5,422,100 ounty Opinion $5,422,100
Time of Hearin 2:20 PM Appellant Opinion $3,843,033
County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $5,422,100
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant is requesting a lower valuation based on a market proforma income approach
also considering the valuation of Durham County's portion of the apartment property.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject contains 19 units of the 258-unit project known as The Reserve at Meadowmont in
Chapel Hill. The remaining 239 units are located in and are assessed by Durham County. The
units were constructed in 2000. The property is currently assessed at$5,422,100 or$285,374
per unit.
• Up until the most recent purchase, for$324,031 per unit in late 2023,this complex performed
quite well. After the purchase,not nearly as well with rents being flat and vacancy rising.
• The appellant has made an argument using the overall assessment from Durham and Orange to
suggest that since the November 2023 purchase,post the interest rate spike, has decreased from
$83,600,000 ($324,000 per unit)to$55,671,500 ($216,000 per unit). This is not reasonable.
The appellant suggests the Orange County portion would be roughly$202,000 per unit,which
is even further undervalued. A buyer would understand that the performance by the previous
management was very good for years and would consider the upside potential, even if the
current performance is poor.
• Upon review of the December rent roll,but without the benefit of any Income and Expense
data, it appears like the Orange County assessment,bracketed by the Income and Sales
Approaches and considering the previous sale, is well supported. The Durham tax assessment
(nor the total assessment with both Counties totaled)does not have bearing on the Orange
County assessment of the part of the property in Orange County.
• As a result, no change in value is supported.

Time of Hearin 2:27 PM Appellant Opinion $2,342,062
County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $3,937,200
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant is requesting a lower valuation based on a market proforma.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject is a 20,272 square feet office building built in 1995 and has an assessed value of
$4,240,500 or$209.18 per square foot. This office building exhibits relatively poor financial
performance, but the agent has used high management expenses and a high capitalization rate
for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro market(see attached historical office capitalization rates)which
weakens the appeal. However,the County's analysis does suggest that an adjustment to value
is warranted. From the County's income approach, a value of approximately$3,967,000 is
indicated. Applying the County's schedule of values,the County recommends increasing the
external(demand) depreciation on the subject building from 34%to 40%which would result in
a revised assessed value of$3,937,200 or$194.22,which is well supported by recent
comparable office sales in the area.

9799362298 and 9799366150 with a requested combined valuation of$18,096,206 and an
allocated value of$655,967 for this parcel.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject is a 2,712 square feet strip shopping center built in 2016 and has an assessed value
of$818,800 or$301.92 per square foot.
• The agent analyzes the value of this property collectively with the larger 108,918 square feet
shopping center on PIN 9799366150. The agent has presented an Income Approach with
actual rents and has applied expenses that are unsupported.
• Like the agent,the County has valued the two properties collectively relying primarily on the
Income Approach. The County has used the actual rents and applied 5%vacancy, similar to the
agent, and applied expenses that are market based. The capitalization rate,which differs
significantly from the agent is supported by actual capitalization rates from local shopping
center sales. The combined indication of value from the County's income approach is
$22,151,838,which is slightly below the$22,588,300 combined assessed values of the two
parcels. However, area shopping center sales indicate a higher valuation and brackets the
County's combined valuation. Area shopping center sales are presented as additional support

Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on an income approach based on actual income
and market proforma.
Current Assessed Value $24,446,700 ounty Opinion $18,360,200
Time of Hearin 3:16 PM Appellant Opinion $11,180,000
County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $18,360,200
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant is requesting a lower valuation based on an income approach that is based on
actual income and market proforma.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject is a set of retail condos located on the ground floor of the larger Carolina Square
project in downtown Chapel Hill. The appellant utilizes a square footage of 46,022 square feet,
while tax records list a total of 73,705 finished square feet. The appellant has requested a value
of$11,180,000 or approximately$243 per square foot based on their square footage figure.
• Based on the rent roll provided by the appellant, the subject's average lease rate appears to lag
market rates primarily due to the large space occupied by the anchor tenant, Target. Larger
retailers such as this, occupying large retail spaces tend to have lease rates lower than the
average, as they occupy a much larger than average space. This appears to be reasonable and
an average lease rate of$24.25 per square foot per year has been utilized for the purpose of this
analysis.
• Average vacancy rates for retail space in Orange County is significantly lower than the 10%
used by the appellant. As the current rent roll only provides a snapshot of the current vacancy,
a rate of 5%is used,which is somewhat closer to the sub-market average. It is also worth
noting that this property has good parking. Additionally, 5%management and reserves
11
Docusign Envelope ID:41A5CO43-OEBB-4B4B-BB6A-9411707F7CAF
expenses are accounted for, which is a much more typical expense when compared to the non-
recoverable 10%expenses indicated by the appellant.
• The Net Operating Income is capitalized at a rate of 5.5%. This rate is reasonable based on the
age of the subject and its prime location and is selected relative to a broad set of retail sales in
downtown Chapel Hill over the past 10 years. The result would indicate a value of
$18,313,095 or approximately$398 per square foot based on the square footage listed in the
County tax records.
• As a result of this analysis, applying the County's Schedule of Values,the County recommends
changing the grade of all buildings from A+40 to A and the E02 economic modifier on the
property to E08 which would result in a revised value of$18,360,200.

Statement of Appeal: Request reduction in value based on a market proforma income approach.
Current Assessed Value $17,720,900 ounty Opinion $20,089,700
Time of Hearin 4:05 PM Appellant Opinion $15,249,357
County Representative Roger Gunn Board Decision $20,089,700
Evidence submitted by the appellant:
• The appellant is requesting a lower valuation based on a market proforma income approach.
Evidence submitted by the county representative:
• The subject is a 95,261 square feet shopping center on 13.39 acres built in 1998. The property
currently has an assessed value of$17,720,900 or$186.02 per square foot. It is 100%occupied
and is anchored by a Harris Teeter supermarket.
• The appellant provides a rent roll,but no Income and Expense information. They provide an
Income Approach to value using actual rents. They use a high non-recoverable expense of
15%with nothing to support it. The capitalization rate used in their analysis is 8.5%,which is
high for Chapel Hill and much higher than actual sales in the area in the low to mid 7%range.
Overall, the analysis needs more support.
• The County has used sales and income approaches to value the property. The two main
differences between the County's income Approach and the Appellant's income approach is
non-recoverable expenses, where the County uses 5%,which is reasonable for a center with
significant inline spaces and an anchor that is paying TICAM reimbursements,and the
capitalization rate chosen. Harris Teeter centers tend to fare better than many other types of
centers. Given the local comparables and the location,the County has used a 7.5%rate.
Based on the County analysis,primarily the Income Approach,the indicated value of the
shopping center is higher than the current assessed value at $20,087,098.
• Applying the County's schedule of values, the County recommends removing the existing E20
economic modifier on the property and instead applying 20% economic depreciation to the
structures. This would result in a revised value of$20,089,700 or$210.89 which is well
supported by comparable area shopping center sales.
